Answer 2

The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union led to a science education emphasis renovation in the nation's schools.

American concerns about their place in the space race behind the Soviet Union led lawmakers and educators to apply greater emphasis on mathematics and physics in US schools. The National Defense Education Act of 1958 increased the funds to achieve these objectives from primary education to the graduate level. At present, more than 1200 institutes in the United States conserve their planetariums, a situation unparalleled in another country of the world and a direct consequence of the space race.
